¿Do they even want the Latino vote?

A piece of commentary that's worth reading.

Univision Radio broadcaster Fernando Espuelas offers up his theories about how Republican political officials could gain significant shares of the Latino electorate – although most of them amount to merely showing respect for the growing part of the population.

RATHER THAN DEMONIZING our growing numbers!!!

Which is why I’m convinced there are significant parts of the GOP electorate that desperately doesn’t want anything to do with Latinos. Manage to win something without them, then you owe nothing and can justify (in their own mini-minds) ignoring my ethnic brethren.

Of course, such a line of logic goes both ways. Ignore us, and we’re likely to ignore you right back. Particularly in the upcoming election cycle.

Which in the end only serves to make themselves irrelevant.
